I remember Milo 3 in 1 used to have 18 sticks/sachets per pack. Now they’re only 16 sticks per pack. Shrinkflation is real


I prefer Milo Gao Siew Dai (less sugar) but it only contains 13 sticks per pack!

I wish our local supermarkets would be required to state per unit pricing. That will reveal inflation/shrinkflation more clearly.

I usually calculate for a comparison among similar pdts.

I do that too. But unit pricing will help us notice when an item the price and packaging size remains unchanged but the quantity has reduced!

Yea qty reduced, price increases, double. Milk 950ml, milo sticks reduced…next maybe the content weight in each stick?

There is a brand of granola bars where, over the past few months, first the no. of bars in the box was reduced, and I am sure the size of the bars has shrunk too. But the box has remained the same size. The price is about the same.

Thanks, @chenlaoshi !

I’ve got my 3 extra $4 tickets Wonder if I can use them all at once or must I again split up my purchases?

Sigh… the underlying truth in life is that EVERYTHING will be more expensive over time.
